A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 2645: Chapter 1781: This Hero Is Far Too Terrifying

When players play games, they often encounter such things.

When you go to a place, trying to complete all the side quests there before starting the main quest, you’ll walk down the street, and then without any warning, a cutscene will play, and the main quest will appear.

Hmm, that’s really annoying.

But for Duanmu Huai, it’s not a bad thing at all; he’s mostly uninterested in those side quests.

"Do you think summoning this big turtle will defeat me?"

"No, of course not."

The old man shook his head with a smile, then made a gesture, and the big turtle disappeared. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow, and Lisetta also showed a surprised expression. But soon the old man continued to speak.

"I’ve actually been gathering information about the Hero from various areas of the Demon King’s Army. I know that two of the Four Heavenly Kings have died at your hands, so naturally, I won’t be your match either. From you, I sensed power beyond theory, an irresistible force akin to His Majesty the Demon King. So......"

As he spoke, the old man took out a bundle and opened it.

Seeing the contents of the bundle, Lisetta’s face turned pale. The reason was simple: the bundle contained nothing but two human heads!

"These are the heads of my wife and child. I must use the heads of my beloved family, along with the lives of all the villagers in this village, as a medium to unleash my strongest summoning magic and defeat the Hero———!"

The old man’s voice stopped there.

Because the next moment, Duanmu Huai’s War Hammer flew out with a whoosh, smashing toward the old man. The latter let out a sharp, sinister laugh, raising both hands high.

"Come forth, from the different dimension———!"

The old man’s body was hit by the War Hammer, rolled over, and turned into a grotesque, giant demon beast lying on the ground. At this moment, half of the demon beast’s body was completely caved in, covered with blood everywhere, yet even so, it still let out a triumphant laugh.

"Hahaha, foolish Hero, thank you for helping me complete the final strike! As long as I inject my blood and life into the summoning array, the strongest summoning will appear! Come forth, appear, Crossed Thanatos!"

As it spoke, the demon beast stared at the spot where it had knelt earlier, where Duanmu Huai’s hammer had struck its body, the splattered blood covered the surrounding ground and naturally dripped into the array on the ground.

"The situa... the situation seems wrong, Hero!"

Lisetta’s face turned pale, looking around uneasily.

"Should we leave here first?"

"There’s no need for that."

However, Duanmu Huai calmly shook his head, seemingly not taking the old demon’s threat seriously at all. In fact, that’s how it was. From when the demon beast called upon the name of the summoning to now, almost half a minute had passed, yet the blood-soaked ground still hadn’t shown any signs of movement......

"How is this possible? Why?"

The demon beast’s eyes widened, completely unable to believe what it was seeing.

"Why didn’t the summoning array activate?"

"You were the one who said it."

Duanmu Huai, carrying the War Hammer, looked at the demon beast as if it were an idiot.

"You need a summoning array to summon a demon beast, right? Then why not just destroy the summoning array?"

"What———!"

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s answer, both the demon beast and Lisetta were taken aback. Indeed, Duanmu Huai’s idea was quite simple and direct. But the problem is, a summoning array isn’t just a picture drawn on the ground, it’s a pattern condensed with magic power. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be so easily destroyed!

That’s right, ordinary people indeed can’t do it, but Duanmu Huai is the God of Destruction. For him, destroying anything is a piece of cake.

A mere magic circle is just a casual wave of his hand.

"Alright, you lowly demon."

Duanmu Huai’s voice rang out again, making the demon shudder. When it looked up again, it saw Duanmu Huai standing next to the magic circle, with the heads of its own wife and child at his feet!

"I never knew demons could have such feelings, how interesting."

Duanmu Huai said this while kicking around the heads as if they were soccer balls.

"How do you feel now? You killed your own wife and child, killed everyone in the village, yet in the end, all you did was in vain, hahahahaha! How do you feel now? How does it feel!?"

Duanmu Huai raised his head and laughed heartily. Hearing his laughter, Lisetta trembled all over, and the demon gritted its teeth in anger.

"Shut up! Damn Hero, don’t touch my wife and child’s heads, give them back to me!"

"Oh, then I’ll give them back to you."

Hearing the demon’s words, Duanmu Huai kicked the two heads, and the next moment, they shot out like soccer balls, smashing onto the demon’s head and body, then exploded into pieces, with bone fragments mixed with brains and flesh, covering the demon’s body.

"Oops, sorry, they were just too fragile and got kicked to pieces accidentally."

Saying this, Duanmu Huai grinned and let out a menacing laugh.
